Hello everyone ! We are a small independent french video game studio, creating video games for kids. Our main IP is "Math Mathews" : two games are already published (about multiplications and mental math) and a cartoon series will be available on october 2017 on the web. We are actually working on our last game "Math Mathews Fractions", together with a cognitive science lab and a senior lecturer in math. Our challenge is to create a video game (eg fun for the kids) with learning content (as you know, math is a crucial subject for kids!). The player is Captain Mathews, a legendary and bad-tempered pirate arriving on the mysterious island of Sylla. The educational dimension has led the whole production. We were lucky enough to work with a teacher who believes that video games can be useful at home and in the classrooms to help kids learn or practice math in a different way. We created 12 different modules about fractions and the different ways fractions can be represented. We have already described all this process on our blog if you want to have a look http://kiupe.com/this-is-how-we-imagined-a-video-game-to-practice-fractions/ If the game is only a series of math exercises, chances are big that kids will not play. As Mathews is a pirate, we included fights against the Ptots (fierce small creatures living on the island), and of course, coins to get, traps to avoid... We tried to create a world with adventures and fun! Math Mathews Fractions will be available on october on Apple appstore (USD 3,99). I will be happy to share our experience with you or have your feedbacks ! Best, vanessa
